Antera Celebrates Talent: Luxury and Passion at Pepito Day
Florence, March 22, 2025 – Rain, emotion, and nostalgia: the Stadio Franchi witnessed an unforgettable night. The farewell to football of Giuseppe Rossi, the "Pepito" who made Florence and Italy dream, turned into an extraordinary event filled with memories, friendship, and a celebration of talent. Among the evening's key players, Antera, an icon of luxury automotive, paid tribute to this legend with an exclusive gesture.
Design and Legend: Antera’s Tribute
For such a special occasion, Antera wanted to emphasize the bond between sporting excellence and uncompromising style. Each footballer present received an exclusive set of four Antera wheels, customizable for their own vehicle. A symbol of elegance, performance, and attention to detail, shared among those who live with a passion for luxury and perfection.
"Being here is not just a tribute to Pepito, but a way to share the essence of Antera with an exceptional audience: no compromise between aesthetics and performance," said a brand representative present at the event.
An Evening of Emotion and Spectacle
The atmosphere ignited even before kickoff. In the mixed zone, historic faces of Viola football such as Sébastien Frey, Luca Toni, Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Juan Manuel Vargas, and David Pizarro reminisced about the most iconic moments shared with Rossi, including the famous hat-trick against Juventus that still excites fans today.
On the field, two dream teams: the Pepito Team led by Manuel Pellegrini and the Fiorentina Legend team guided by Roberto Dellapina, the first coach to believe in Rossi’s talent during his Parma days. When Pepito scored, the Franchi erupted in a roar, bringing Florence back for a moment to its most glorious days.
Antera and the Value of Excellence
With its presence at Pepito Day, Antera reaffirmed a key concept: excellence knows no boundaries. Whether in the automotive world or in sports, what truly matters is the ability to leave a mark, to stand out through uniqueness and vision.
"Man invented the wheel to move, Antera transformed it to inspire." A concept that perfectly aligns with the spirit of the evening: because true luxury is not just what you own, but what you choose to celebrate.
